It's that time again

when I don't know if we should "celebrate" that date or not. Six years ago today, our world was turned upside down: Pierre was at the hospital with leukemia. I wrote about it last year:the story of a boy .You can click on the story of a boy if you are not familiar with his story. He finished his treatment in febuary 2006. It still feel like it was yesterday. I still get scared from time to time, especially if he gets weird bruises on his body or if he's more tired than usually. I do try rationality to explain why he's feeling tired or why he has bruises but my brain is not very friend with reationality. My brain best friend is fear and it's hard to control fear ... very hard. That's a date I can't forget and like he got sick during a holiday, it's even easier to remember ... but I don't need a special date to remember don't I ?

Even though he's fine now, he still struggles at school. This year, we also " celebrate" 10 years of speech therapy. Imagine 10 years ! I never imagined he will still go to speech therapy at 13 years old. He just finished some testing with the neuro psychologist in order to see if there are any progress with the therapy. It will take a while to get the results but she said she already saw some progress which is positive.

I am having lots of fun stitching my Lanarte !!! Why am I feeling I am making so much progress with it while I was stitching so slow on the banner?

I want to thank you for your birthday wishes and for having happily danced with me for my latest finish !!! You always make me smile !!! Thank you!

It must have been so hard to hear your child is sick. I am really happy that he is now ok and I wish him healthy years for the rest of his life. And strenght to you trying to keep the fear away. *hugs*Your Lanarte looks great! The little birdie helps you stitch so fast. :)

I'm doing a Happy Dance for Pierre because six years is a long time and he's come so far! I know the fear will always be there. I've been there and I know. It can become less vivid but it will always be there. Try to think about the positive things now and enjoy each day that you see your son happy and healthy :o)

chiloe...i remember reading this last year. Like your son you are a fighter too. I cannot imagine how a mom will be at the time of such a crisis....((hugs)) chiloe...hope and pray that your fear eases as time goes...
